I am wife to Stewart, mama of four, homeschooler, homebirther, home cook, fermenter, head dish-washer and chief fire-puter-outer. This is where I tell our story... of building a sustainable off-grid homestead in a Christian agrarian community... of raising this growing family of ours... of the beauty and the hard and the joy in all of it.

It was good to see this menu plan. After seeing all the things you are NOT going to eat I was sort of wondering what you would be eating! Doesn’t really look terribly different aside from the lack of cheese and using the coconut milk. Funny, I’m reading Eat Fat, Lost Fat finally and just bought some coconut milk to try the coconut tonic myself since I’m supposedly allergic to dairy.

Cathy – Yeah, I know what you mean about the list of “don’t eat”. I found eat fat lose fat to be very helpful. I have it loaned out to my fat-phobic brother right now :). I made the coconut milk tonic and it was great. Turning it into sugar free hot cocoa was even better! I’ll post a recipe soon.

Alongside our four young children and community we're building an off-grid homestead from scratch and trying to grow more while buying less (though we have a long long way to go). We're fond of traditional and fermented foods, the nourishment they give, and the sustainability they bring. We also believe in growing them ourselves so we've been making messes, soil, and memories on this land since 2011.
